Is it O.K. with you that my daily driver is a Ford? But I love old MOPARs too?
Your argument is ridiculous.
Besides, MOPAR put themselves out of NASCAR. They were making stupid demands upon any team that wanted to run their stuff.
Question No. 1: Why did Penske Racing in March 2012 announce that it was dumping Dodge and moving to Ford for 2013?
Answer: Because while Penske was prepared to re-sign with Dodge, the manufacturer screwed around with the approval process long enough for Ford to step in with an offer Roger Penske couldn't refuse.
Question No. 2: Then why didn't Dodge just sign up another team?
Answer: It tried. It looked and looked but just couldn't find anyone who deserved a $30 million check, the amount at stake according to at least one source.
